Heep Hong Society - On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services

To allow children with special needs to receive necessary training in their "critical period of training", the Social Welfare Department (SWD) has introduced the On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services (OPRS). Since September 2023, the “Tier 1 Service” have been regularized and integrated with OPRS, the OPRS Waitee Services are launched in the same year, providing transitional support to children wait-listing for OPRS under the Central Referral System for Rehabilitation Services.Heep Hong Society has joined OPRS to collaborate with kindergartens (KGs)/kindergarten-cum-child care centres (KG-cum-CCCs), supporting children with special needs.  With our extensive experience and outstanding achievement in implementing a proven dual model that combines school-based support and centre-based training, the OPRS professional teams provide a full range of on-site rehabilitation services and training for children with special needs and their families, as well as teachers, supplemented with training at centres equipped with rehabilitation facilities.
